Chapter 8: Case four years ago!
"Four years ago, at the Spring Festival time!"
Li Jianye's voice was loud, like a bolt of thunder exploding in everyone's ears.
All the police rushed over immediately.
"According to the information provided by the internal staff, four years ago, it was the time when the deceased was celebrating the Chinese New Year!"
Xu Hao stood up straight, he lowered his head and watched silently.
The four deceased had been together since childhood, but it was at this point in time that they truly became inseparable.
There were no accidents before the Spring Festival, but after the Spring Festival four years ago, the four of them left together without providing any reason, and moved from Penglai City, 200 kilometers away, to Jiangdong District! "There was nothing unusual before that."
Xu Hao narrowed his eyes, murmured in his heart for a moment, and then turned his gaze to another place.
"Transfer? Transfer arranged by parents?"
There is no way to transfer schools without the parents’ presence, but if the parents are asked to do it, how would the deceased deceive?
You know, that was the third year of junior high school. Even if it was not as stressful as the third year of high school, it was still stressful to suddenly transfer to an unfamiliar environment. What reason could I have to convince my parents? No, the elders would have a "self-centered" mentality towards the younger generation, imposing their ideas on them. No unreal lies would convince them! Unless there was no deception at all! ? "Cover up!?"
Li Jianye looked surprised, but he immediately understood after a little thought.
"But the cover-up is not complete."
Xu Hao looked at the information and continued to think, "They are in a panic. As soon as the Spring Festival is over, they immediately change jobs, schools, and living places!"
"What made them so panicked?"
For example.
There is a towering cliff in front of you. The closer you get to the cliff, the more fear you feel, which makes you want to escape! But the opposite is true.
The further you are from the cliff, the more at peace you will feel.
Even if it is a case, it is not too much! If the deceased had done something wrong in the past and told his parents, and if his parents cleaned up the scene and hid the hypothetical body so that no one else knew, the other party would never do such a thing!
Even if the body is hidden, the murderer will not go far! Only when they look at the hidden body, the body that no one has discovered, will they feel at ease. Once they move away, they will be filled with panic!
Unless "there is something that can threaten the murderers?" Xu Hao's brain kept thinking, and his thoughts were extremely fast.
“And the police!”
When it comes to cases and people who have violated the law, there are only two things that can threaten them.
1. The person who is offended.
Second, the police!
Which one? "It wasn't the murderer who threatened their mentality four years ago, otherwise they would never have moved to Jiangdong District alone."
Xu Hao's brows furrowed.
Assuming that the body is on the cliff, then the murderer is the tiger!
The cliff won't move, so you can just keep watching it. It's enough to just stay at a safe distance and watch it, but the tiger is different, it can follow you, it can move!
Just like this, in just four years, the murderer was chased from Penglai City to Jiangdong District!
When facing a tiger, you can run as far as you want. You will never feel safe if you move from a 10-meter danger zone to a 100-meter zone!
"police!?"
Zhao Shui suddenly spoke, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Running away means there was something wrong with the handling of the body, and the distance means it's not the murderer. Besides the murderer, the only people who can threaten them are the police!"
At this moment, all kinds of speculations emerged in everyone's mind.
"Wait, doesn't this conflict with the murderer placing the body at the intersection?" Zhao Shui suddenly said.
According to the reasoning, the deceased had escaped the law, so he was angry at the police and tortured the four bodies and placed them in front of everyone!
"What if a case is filed but not solved?" Xu Huo asked.
Judging from the deceased's behavior, he was very panicked and flustered.
When do people become like this?
When walking on a tightrope! For example, if there is something ugly on your phone, will you panic when you hold the phone?
Won't.
Do you get nervous when someone holds your hand? A little.
If the other party opens the hidden folder and asks you for the password, will you panic? Only when you are on this tightrope will you be extremely panicked! "Opening a case is the most torturous thing for the murderer!"
"As expected, the reaction of the murderer and the deceased was that the case became an unsolved case, and perhaps no one thought about the four deceased persons."
The 30 percent homicide clearance rate has resulted in the archives being filled with backlogs of cases.
The public does not trust the ability of criminal police, so cases occur frequently these days.
For the victim, there is only a 30% chance of clearing their name after committing the murder.
As for the murderer, there is a 70% chance that he will kill a person and pretend that nothing happened! "Contact Lanshan District, Penglai City immediately!"
Li Jianye's mind moved, and without any hesitation, he turned his head to look at Zhao Shui.
Regardless of whether it was a backlog of cases after the case was filed, or the body was hidden so tightly that it will always be just speculation if we don’t investigate!
Verification is the only fundamental thing!
"Four years ago, at the Spring Festival time!"
Xu Hao particularly emphasized this point, "Civil disputes, criminal disputes, any cases filed or established at this point in time, all should be transferred here!"
"Okay!" Zhao Shui nodded vigorously, then walked aside to contact the office staff.
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
As long as a case is filed, the police system will be able to find it. It only takes one phone call and a few minutes to accurately identify the person!
Xu Hao is not planning to investigate the parents of the four deceased persons for the time being.
Using the prisoner's dilemma psychology will most likely force out useful information, but it is unlikely to be useful in catching the murderer.
The most they can do is cover up and handle the scene, but they cannot get to the core of the conflict.
After a long while, Zhao Shui brought out a laptop from the police car. This was considered a relatively high-tech device for the police, but its thickness also made Xu Huo gasp.
But it's not a big problem. The police system does not require much performance. Even after 23 years, some police officers in small places are probably still using old computers from ten to fifteen years ago.
“Found it!”
"Penglai City, Lanshan District, four years ago, at the beginning of 1999, on February 15, February 16, and February 17, within a period of nearly seven days, there were a total of..."
How many cases can there be during the Chinese New Year period?
To be honest, every Chinese New Year period is when the police usually have to work overtime.
Especially during the Spring Festival! Fires, fights, civil disputes, drunken disturbances, murders. The number will decrease in the next few days, but the severity will increase.
Fires caused by fireworks alone are not something that can be dealt with by ordinary alarms.
"Why so many?"
Li Jianye frowned.
He was dazzled by the various disputes and it was difficult to find one that was related to the deceased.
If the deceased is mentioned in it, it would be easy to find him. But if the deceased is involved in these disputes and cases, then the deceased does not need to run away, the police can arrest him directly! Xu Hao did not speak.
He stared at one of the cases, narrowed his eyes, and frowned slightly.
"Wait a minute, let the clerk ask about this case in detail."
Li Jianye paused, then looked in the direction he was looking and saw a rape case.
The identity of the body remains a mystery, as does the murderer. There are so many mysteries, and there is no progress at all. "Is it related to the four deceased people?"
Li Jianye frowned. He couldn't imagine how this had anything to do with the deceased.
"Also, this case four years ago."
Four years ago, the deceased were not very old and almost no one would suspect them.
But that doesn't mean it's impossible! Of course, this is not the reason why Xu Hao targeted me.
The reason is. "There is a clue that I don't know if you remember."
Looking at Li Jianye and others, Xu Huo spoke, slowly uttering two words.
"bar."
"The deceased had drunk cocktails and most likely had been to a bar. I don't need to explain why most people go to bars frequently. The most important thing is..."
Looking at those people, looking into their eyes, Xu Hao slowly expressed a doubt.
"murderer."
"How did you know they were going to the bar?"
